[Verse 1] Trying hard not to fall On the way home You were trying to wear me down, down Kissing up on fences And up on walls On the way home I guess it's all working out, now [Pre-Chorus] 'Cause there's still too long to the weekend Too long till I drown in your hands Too long since I've been a fool Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah [Chorus] Leave this blue neighbourhood Never knew loving could hurt this good, oh And it drives me wild 'Cause when you look like that I've never ever wanted to be so bad, oh Yeah, it drives me wild You're driving me wild, wild, wild You're driving me wild, wild, wild You're driving me wild [Verse 2] White noise in my mind Won't calm down You're all I think about Running on the music And night highs But when the light's out It's me and you now, now [Pre-Chorus] 'Cause there's still too long to the weekend Too long till I drown in your hands Too long since I've been a fool Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah [Chorus] Leave this blue neighbourhood Never knew loving could hurt this good, oh And it drives me wild 'Cause when you look like that I've never ever wanted to be so bad, oh Yeah, it drives me wild You're driving me wild, wild, wild You're driving me wild, wild, wild You're driving me wild, wild, wild [Bridge] You make my heart shake, bend and break But I can't turn away And it's driving me wild You're driving me wild You make my heart shake, bend and break But I can't turn away And it's driving me wild You're driving me wild [Chorus] Leave this blue neighbourhood Never knew loving could hurt this good, oh And it drives me wild 'Cause when you look like that I've never ever wanted to be so bad, oh Yeah, it drives me wild You're driving me wild, wild, wild You're driving me wild, wild, wild You're driving me wild, wild, wild You're driving me wild, wild, wild
